I got one last fall, not used it more than a couple times. (due to winter). I've been torn on selling it due to bortle 6 here - I tend to do NB only. I just put together a portable setup to take it to darker skies. But I'd consider selling it for a fair offer.

YES the PI lags - so the solution for me was to run on windows - and use the PI only for a webserver. NO LAG -fewer crashes. My PC in the house does all the work... the PI is free to do the IO. I did all the other iterations... (kstars on my dome Nuc (port problems) Kstars on the PI (lag problems) so run everything on windows and connect to the PI's webserver. CLEAN - AND FAST.

I just switched to this. I put linux on my nuc and desktop. There are pains... my IP cameras would not work from linux nor my TV feed. After trying info and kstars on NUC then dekstop - I have found the best solution. A PI computer 38.00 and a 10.00 case. I added the stellarmate linux OS. (49) and well worth it. The PI had all my gear plugged into it. nexdome snapcap Foxlynx 1 and 2 focusers Pyxis rotator 1600 camera SX lodestar camera ASI EFW AP mount Cloudwatcher I'm probably missing something. I plugged all this into the PI. I plug the PI into my lan on my mesh router 300 ft away from my house. I went back to running windows in the house on the desktop. (dispite LOVING the dark scheme on Linux = ( to many issues). I run Kstars/Ekos on my PC windows10. I can teamviewer into the PI to tweak it if needed. (updates). I am running all the PROCESSING intensive programs on my win10 desktop. (this eliminated the crashing from a 1gb PI). PI does all the IO for the devices. And it's realtime. ALL my my devices were easily covered/included in the INDI driver package install. I have a few minor issues yet, but I'm still in my first week of this huge transition from SGP and the 8 other apps that were required! MY only complaint - the UI of EKOS need work, but Jasem has shown a lot of interest in suggestions. The first issue I had he fixed over night! this has been a awesome change over... there is a learning curve but the benifets will be worth it.

I had the tools in my cart - tried the tennis shoes and worked on several all various types and sizes. thanks! I canceled the order.

I had this happen 20 minutes before totality of recent eclipse. GEESH. We had a power stutter from AC power from the invertor in the car. Correupted my files and I was shut down. Luckily I had my canon and a 300mm and still got some great shots. But not much from my 80mm scope setup with ASI1600 = ( Trying to fix this error now - will try the tool.
